You
(page 17)
My dear Mama, you are definitely the hen who hatched a famous duck.
When you're not able to play ball anymore, you see who's really there for you. I would say that God works in mysterious ways, and He gets rid of your friends for you — the ones who were never really your real friends.
The soldiers that didn't come back were the heroes. It's a roll of the dice. If a bullet has your name on it, you're a hero. If you hear a bullet go by, you're a survivor.
There are times you can't really see or even feel how sweet life can be. Hopefully its mountains will be higher than its valleys are deep. I know things that are broken can be fixed. Take the punch if you have to, hit the canvas and then get up again. Life is worth it.
If you do not love me I shall not be loved If I do not love you I shall not love.
When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.
Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy.
Act like you expect to get into the end zone.
Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job.
Life is abundant, and life is beautiful. And it's a good place that we're all in, you know, on this earth, if we take care of it.
I needed to join the Navy. If you ask the people in Europe who won World War II, they don't say the Allies, they say the United States won the war and saved the world.
You can pick songs that sound like hits, but if it's not something that somebody wants to tell their friends, 'Hey man, have you heard this song?' then I don't think it's worth it. The only way to get your music out there, is for someone to tell their friends about it.
If you want to cut your own throat, don't come to me for a bandage.
When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.
If your life gets off to a rough start, just know this is helping you develop depth of personality and depth of character.
For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.
If I love you, what business is it of yours?
Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.
You actually can make it, no matter what. I truly am a firm believer in that. Eminem's living proof.
You never know where a blessing can come from.
